    Let me understand.

    You want your XJ to break down more often? Or is it that you want a reliable Jag?

    Had to laugh on that one....you got that right......the Jag ( Just Another Grand ) is the next restoration project after the bike........an automotive engineers nightmare......great engine when they are purring.......however electrical nightmare.....you think the wiring harness on these Xj bikes are bad......the Jag has all exposed wiring ...nothing shrinkwrapped..... all exposed to the elements...especially the heat coming off a V-12.....brittles the wiring very easily to make for electrical shorts all over......

    However, a fun car when it is was running.....only 68k on it for a 1992...

    You're gonna need a welder, some duct tape, JB-weld, super glue, and threadlocker red....

    Seen a Jag V12 TRIKE don't think it works the other way round.

    Will that gas tank fit a 900?
